Reading to Learn in the Content Areas ReviewTo quote the "official" reviewer, "She has experience teaching at the elementary, middle, high school and adult levels." Not sure if that means the author was a really good teacher (seems she moved around a lot) or not.
Much of the content in this text is/was of the "common sense" variety recognized by most experienced teachers. The main theme of the text centers on a "P A R" framework (Preparation, Assistance, Reflection) approach to reading/literacy; reminding this reviewer of the teacher's adage, "Tell them what you're going to tell them, TELL THEM, and tell them what you told them."
Younger teachers, however, may find the techniques to be new and useful to them. BUT (always a "but" - right?), many of the studies cited in this "latest edition" are 20 +/- years old (unreasonable for such a highly priced book).
I'm not sure that our "younger" teachers can afford this book, nor should they, for a work partly based on studies done at the time they were still in elementary school.Reading to Learn in the Content Areas OverviewWith READING TO LEARN IN THE CONTENT AREAS, Eighth Edition, future educators discover how they can teach students to use reading, discussion, and writing as vehicles for learning in any discipline. The book explores how the increased availability of computers, instructional software, social media, and Internet resources--as well as the rise of electronic literacy in general--have affected the ways children learn and create meaning from their world. The authors' unique lesson framework for instruction, PAR (Preparation/Assistance/Reflection), extends throughout the book. A reader-friendly presentation, balanced approach, strong research base, and inclusion of real-life examples from a variety of subject areas and grade levels have helped make this resource one of the most popular and effective books on the market.
